hi guys, so im new to terry pratchett books i have just finished nation and loved it and i have been recommended the discworld novels and have never read any of them, so i was just wondering if there was anything to know and like what they're about thanks guys

I'd certainly go for Guards! Guards! as a first book. Witches Abroad is another good one. Maybe Mort would be a good place to start. A lot of people insist on starting with The Colour of Magic and working their way through the series chronologically - that's certainly how I did it, but I did it as the books were being published.

In most cases it doesn't matter where you start, but by starting with the earlier books you do get to see character development.

I agree Guards! Guards! or Mort are a good places to start I started with Feet of Clay which isn't the best place to start because you mis some of the development of the characters and the city watch(still loved it though )

Indeed - very bad for the spankers joints not to mention the mutual pain (even if you use a stick). Some form of mental retribution is called for - eeny meeny miney d'oh...

Actually the threat of impending, but unspecified, torture (with the possibility of glo paint, SP and Dubya) might be the way forward whilst giving sufficient leeway for further entertaining, if highly dubious indiscretions and general smartypantsness to continue...
